Finally! Someone who uses a press! I made a jig that gives 3/4 material a double offset in one heat. Then I finish the tongs on my power hammer. BUT, I love your method! I’m fully ambidextrous, 6’3” 265 and can hammer with the best. For a minute. I’m also in my 60’s so machines are my best bet. I’ve subscribed and anxious to see more from your shop!!
Very nice. I have just gotten a small hydraulic press and I have been trying to make tongs. I have had a little success but I think this will help.

Thanks Jim! It was fun making them on the press and a lot easier than hammering them out by hand!
